Last month I bookmarked these four articles from The New York Times. Before I could blog my thoughts on them, however, they expired. Now I’ll have to pay to read the full text.
- Making a Statement, in Absentia profiled students who spend more time on their IM away messages than actually sending instant messages. I wanted to research the academic studies cited, but no such luck now.
- The Sound of Things to Come interested me in Woody Norri’s hypersonic sound (HSS) invention that could herald a new audio era in everything from computer screens to warfare.
- TV Networks Plan Flood of Reality for Summer probably had a sentence or two that was insightful enough to bookmark, but I have no idea now.
- That Blob of Multiplying Genres? It’s Music offered the total number of awards doled by the Grammys in a “delightfully futile quest that’s something like mapping an amoeba.” There’s more to the story, but I’d have to pay a couple of bucks to re-read it.
I love The Times, but I don’t think it’s going to do much good to blog articles when no one else can read them after 30 days.
